"You don't have to like Zendaya's hair. She didn't do it for you. She did it for Bowie,"said one Twitter user. As a tribute to the late musician, the star showed up on the Grammys red carpet sporting a mullet and a black suit reminiscent of his iconic style. It was a brave move (not just anyone can pull off such a look), but something we totally admire and support.
She not only looked gorgeous (she even did her own makeup), but she made an important homage to one of our favorite artists. While many on Twitter missed the point at first, others came out in support of the young star. And as we've learned from Zendaya before, it doesn't matter what people think — especially when it comes to your hair.
We've rounded up some of the thoughtful reactions we came across below.
At the end of the day, it's all about what Zendaya likes. She likes to experiment w/ her looks. At least she won't regret not trying
